It’s Wednesday and here is what we love this week at The Pajama Company
This week we launched our “Matching Family Pajamas” category here at www.ThePajamaCompany.com We know there is something about winter and something about the holidays that makes it wonderful to just relax at home together in pajamas. Kids just love, love, love to wear pajamas that match Mom and Dad. It’s fun to see families all in pajamas and all matching. It’s just happy, and isn’t that what the holidays are all about? We really love our footie pajamas from Big Feet Pajamas for the family and our fabulous collection of matching pj set, pants and sleepshirts from Hatley Nature. How fun for kids to see Mom & Dad in matching footies. We’ve heard our customers tell us that they love footies and love the fun of reclaiming a bit of childhood with footies. We know many families have the “Matching Pajama” tradition for the holidays. For some it’s Thanksgiving, for others it’s Christmas Eve, Christmas morning or the first night of Hanukkah. Always popular are bright red flannel pj’s with snowmen and our Papa Bear flannels are just that and perfect for the entire family. Here are a few of our new matching goodies. Let us know what you think and take a moment to share any of your matching family traditions.
Time to get matching!
Footed pajamas are often thought of as night wear for small kids, but both teens and adults are now wearing footies again! Many older people like footie pajamas because they bring back memories of the fun they had in their childhood. Historians disagree on the history of the footed pajama. Some say they were brought from Persia in the 1800s, while others claim India was the place of origin and that they were brought to the West in 1880. The word “pajama” itself according to linguists originates from an Indian word meaning “leg clothes.”Pajamas rapidly grew in popularity in Europe where they helped people stay warm during the cold winter nights. By 1898, footed pajamas were advertised for sale in London, and their popularity continued to grow from that point.So why are footie pajamas so warm? Well, the fact that the pajamas are one-piece helps prevent heat from escaping too far from the body. With non-footie pajamas there are a lot of “vents” that allow the warmth generated by the human body to dissipate. The footie traps this warmth and allows it to circulate throughout the inside of the pajama area including around the feet. Since the feet are often the first thing to get cold, the footie pajama was really a blessing in helping people get to sleep in cold climates. Even in the modern age with our centrally heated homes, we can still use footed pajamas to help keep the heating bill lower while still sleeping comfortably. In fact, saving electricity on heating also has the added benefit of reducing our impact on the environment.
Being your own fan can be as simple as putting on a pair of comfortable pajamas. The members of the band Love Via Dance Machine show how to have fun in pajamas with our newest video Pajama Fans.

Yes, it’s true…Pajamas make me happy! Here’s why:
We love pajamas that make us smile. Whether it’s living and working in a wonderful pajama or coming home from work at the end of the day and pulling on a comfy pj pant and tee, we simply love the goodies from Be As You Are. The women’s pj pant has a perfect fit with a drawstring elastic waist. The pretty contrasting cuff matches the inside waistband. The waistband is nice and thick and can be rolled just the way you like. The pant is a pretty cropped length and can be rolled up to make a bermuda short or rolled down for a longer length pajama pant. We like the versatility of this pant and of course the fun fun print. At $28, the pant makes a great gift for yourself or someone you love. So today’s favorite pajama is officially “Pick Your Poison” pant from Be As You Are. White 100% woven cotton with a fresh lavender print.
